If you told me five years ago that I would be cooking with mushrooms and enjoying them, I’d laugh in your face. My prior experience with mushrooms was limited to buttery sautéed cremini and rubbery mushrooms on pizza. Neither was an amazing experience. Fast forward to the present and I’ve really begun to appreciate the…
Spicy Roasted Garlic Cauliflower
This post is sponsored by Frontier Co-op. All words and opinions are my own 🙂 Since moving to California I’ve realised one big difference. The quality of the fruit and vegetables here is much higher than the east coast. Maybe it’s the soil, maybe it’s the climate, but either way I find myself gravitating…
BBQ Oven Roasted Cabbage
There are on many occasions where friends and family have a barbecue or cookout and forget to have a vegetarian option. Potato salad is delicious, but can’t count as a meal (it’s too much mayo anyways). I recently saw a video on Bon Appetit for a BBQ beer can cabbage and thought both how ridiculous…
Brown Butter Parmesan Asparagus
You guys! Spring is here!!! There were daffodils blooming on my street, which are the official sign of spring. There were even fresh veggies at the Farmer’s Market, which is the truest sign that spring is here to stay and that there won’t be any more freak snow storms (hopefully!). With fresh produce starting to…
Dutch Oven Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
I have been decimated by not one but two sicknesses this year. considering how we are only in the second week of the year, this is not a good sign. Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s that I live in NYC where too many people crowd onto the train each day, or maybe I…
Buttery Artichoke and Kale Pasta
Who can say no to a delicious plate of pasta? Lady and the Tramp certainly had the right idea for dinner date food. Even when staying in, I love making a pasta dinner because it’s simple to make, absolutely delicious and with a recipe like this, romantic too. I made Buttery Artichoke and Kale Pasta…
Honey Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts
It’s that time of year again where we finally get through the holidays and after eating every sugar cookie in sight are ready to fit back in our jeans. Don’t get me wrong, yoga pants are extremely comfortable but the do nothing to curb my expanding waistline. At least the jeans offer some resistance….
Creamy Onions au Gratin
Nothing is better than updating an old family classic. I made Creamy Onions au Gratin for my Thanksgiving and Holiday meals -an update from the pearl onion recipe my grandmother would make! Let’s talk about one of the least favored vegetables; the onion. Yes it’s often seen as essential in cooking but it’s rarely the…
Honey Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I had another one of those days where I went out to eat and ordered something that afterwards I thought “wow I could totally make this too and rock it!” Tai and I meet up on Mondays for lunch in the city and we usually try to grab something easy and eat in the…
Roasted Mushroom Gnocchi with Cream Sauce
Mushrooms and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the taste of mushrooms but often hate the consistency. Nothing is worse than having rubbery mushrooms on a pizza or overly oily mushrooms. BUT I have found that roasting mushrooms not only brings out the flavour but has an amazing consistency. When I made my Roasted…
